ABSTRACT
The study is aimed at classifying the aberration the aphasia patients make when they pronounce Indonesian simple sentence; they suffer from nonfluent expression symptoms and at analyzing neurocognitive disorders. The study uses neuropsycholinguistic approach which theoretically states interventions and abilities involve memory, production, thoughts, meanings, and emotions that are very influential in the speech by patients who have damaged area in the gyrus frontalis inferior (Cummings (2010), Shadock and Shadoch (2010), Gustianingsih (2017). A broken and intermittent sentence such as apo...apo...iha...n.n ya...man...au..tasuk (in the kitchen durian fruit yes eat I like) may be heard to replace aku suka makan durian di dapur ‘I like to eat durian fruit in the kitchen.’ Several previous studies (see Blumstein (1994), Dardjowidjojo (2000), Sastra (2006), Suhardianto (2006) show that the speech of patients with Broca's aphasia is stagnant and unclear, but in this study the intermittence and exchange of linguistic elements are found. Several types of speech aberration are formed by Afabrok patients with expressive aphasia and some negative symptoms. For data collection the conversation and observation methods were utilized with tapping as the basic technique by recording the conversations among Afabrok patients at USU Hospital, who were classified in light status and able to communicate with researchers. Next, several strategies, namely involved and uninvolved conversation and observation, recording, and writing techniques were involved. For data analysis the equivalence method was used, followed by particular element determinant technique and assisted by articulatory differentiation power. The study selected the simple sentences and the neuro-psychocognitive aberration by patients with expressive aphasia. The later technique was connecting and comparing for speeches from normal people and aphasia patients. It can be concluded that irregularities in the simple sentences and neuro-psychocognitive aberration appeared in the form of production, memory, mind, and emotion do exist. The Afabrok patients were unable to produce correct speech.
